Veterinary Surgeons who want to play their part in ensuring the equine veterinary profession thrive are encouraged to put themselves forward as candidates for BEVA Council.
BEVA Council members oversee the direction and strategy of the Association. They work together to promote and lead the equine veterinary community by representing the industry, advising on domestic and European issues and tackle a wide range of veterinary and welfare topics.
"I have seen a different aspect of the equine veterinary industry... and I actually think it is one of the best things I have done in my career most recently. I have met some really great people and I am really interested in the projects I am involved in." - Gemma Dransfield, current Council Member
This year there are four vacancies on BEVA Council and the Junior Vice President role. In order to stand, candidates will need to complete a nomination form including a short personal statement.
